That should probably be on my Next to Read List after I finish Dr. Bernstein.

I need to get my HDL up. It's too low and my ratio is bad: 5.5. If I can get my HDL up or find out about the apolipoprotein sizes I have, (and maybe a homocysteine test too?) I may relax a bit more about those numbers.

I don't stress out too much over this stuff, but then again I would like them to be more favorable than they are now.

AmyB, great blog post. Great pics, too...of you.

You're a beautiful lady. Congrats on your weightloss.

Locarb4me · 05-11-2008, 07:50 PM

Good post AmyB, and I'm glad you forwarded what you had to John. Sounds like it was a goldmine.

You look ger-juss, by the way.

Amyb1569 · 05-11-2008, 07:53 PM

It was ..well it was Heidi's words to me...so yep...it was great.
Happy birthday to Heidi...and a gift to me too...
The truth..Gotta love it.

LChottie07 · 05-11-2008, 08:51 PM

Happy Birthday Amy!!!! I'd make you a cake, but I don't think it would last the trip

You look beautiful.

Wacky - LOVELY cake!!! Thanks everyone for the complements... I'm sure Wacky would agree with me that the only way to get past the temptation that a little crisco, butter and powdered sugar can bring is to look past it and focus on the art. I know I hate that random squiggle too!

Fun to look at though!

Hmmm, for quite a number of years now (maybe decades!) I have preferred the icing to the cake. Icing was the first actual sugar I ever ate, according to family historians, and I love it still. Not so much a fan of the soft "butter cream" type icing that makes pretty flowers, more the wedding cake marzipan stuff that dries hard as candy. But you're right - some works of edible art are too pretty to eat.

(It didn't come as a huge surprise when I found out that I was allergic to wheat. I could cheerfully eat the sugar and fat w/o the flour!

Maybe that's how I got so big, ya think? )

Amyb1569 · 05-11-2008, 09:02 PM

Make me the cake and we will see if it makes the trip..if it does not..I will eat it out of the box...opps..did I say that? Yes I did.
You my friend are beautiful and so sweet..

I like to think of high cholesterol as anti aging

Did you know saturated fat raises HDL?

It's funny you said that. When I look at that stuff anymore, I see a skull and crossbones.

Yes, I have read that. You would think with my high saturated fat consumption that my HDL would be stellar. I seem to break all the rules when it comes to what I eat and resulting labs or weight loss.
